If Zhao Mu's victory over Niu Tie won the cheers of the entire audience, then Lu Qi's challenge to Chu Jiaoran completely blew up the entire outer sect.

Both of them were influential figures in the outer sect.

Chu Jiaoran was ranked ninth on the outer sect prodigy roll and a rising star of the fox clan. Her charm was unparalleled, and her smile was captivating.

Lu Qi was the granddaughter of the twelfth elder, Lu Haikong. Her status was noble, and in terms of beauty, she was not inferior to Chu Jiaoran. She was the ice goddess in the hearts of countless outer sect disciples.

These two stunning beauties were actually fighting for Zhao Mu's affections at this moment.

Was there any gossip that could attract more attention than this?

In an instant, the news spread to the entire outer sect, causing more and more outer sect disciples to gather in the square.

Some inner sect disciples even heard the news and came over to join in the fun.

However, Zhao Mu and Lu Qi had already entered the Path to Heaven's mystic realm.

Everyone was looking forward to Lu Qi's results.

However, some people were not optimistic.

As the ninth on the outer sect prodigy roll, Chu Jiaoran's strength was unshakable. Even if Lu Qi broke through to the Core Formation Stage, it was still quite difficult to surpass Chu Jiaoran in the rankings.

However, no one had any plans to leave.

Because Chu Jiaoran did not leave. She stood outside the Path to Heaven. Although her expression was calm, the aura she emitted was like a thorny rose, making people not dare to approach.

No matter the result of Lu Qi's challenge, when she came out, there would definitely be a good show to watch.

At the same time.

The Devil Sect's sacred ground, Nine Dragon Sword Tomb.

Long Tianxiang, who was cultivating in seclusion, also heard the news of what happened in the outer sect.

"Senior Brother Long, the outer sect is saying that Junior Sister Lu Qi is jealous of Chu Jiaoran of the fox clan for a gigolo. I'm afraid this will affect your reputation, so I came to report it."

The one who spoke was an inner sect disciple with a bull's head.

His name was Niu Ao, and he was one of the top ten on the inner sect prodigy roll. He was also quite famous in the sect.

At the same time, Niu Ao was Niu Tie's cousin.

He was the first to know that Niu Tie was seriously injured by Zhao Mu in the outer sect.

How could Niu Ao take things lying down when his cousin was bullied to this extent?

However, when he learned that Zhao Mu and Lu Qi had a close relationship, Niu Ao suppressed his anger and did not directly rush to the outer sect.

Although Lu Qi was Elder Lu Haikong's granddaughter, it was not enough to make him so wary.

The one he was really afraid of was Lu Qi's fiancé, Long Tianxiang, who was ranked fifth on the Prodigy List.

Not only was Long Tianxiang from the Dragon Clan, but he was also the last disciple of the Saint Prime Devil Sect's Grand Elder, Xiao Zhentian!

With these two identities, Long Tianxiang's position in the Saint Prime Devil Sect was only slightly lower than that of the Saint.

From Niu Ao's point of view, since Lu Qi had an engagement with Long Tianxiang and was walking so close to a pretty boy, once this news reached Long Tianxiang's ears, it would definitely incur his wrath.

He could have gotten someone else to do the dirty work and take revenge for his cousin. He wouldn't have gotten himself into trouble.

After all, if Lu Qi got angry and provoked Twelfth Elder Lu Haikong, Niu Ao would not be able to bear the consequences.

"You dare to disturb my closed-door cultivation for such a small matter?"

Long Tianxiang suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Niu Ao.

Instantly, Niu Ao felt as if countless sharp swords were pointing directly at his soul, and it terrified him to the point his entire body stiffened and he was unable to breathe.

This greatly exceeded Niu Ao's expectations.

His fiancé was jealous of a pretty boy, and Long Tianxiang was actually indifferent. What was he thinking?

Even if the outside world knew that Long Tianxiang was obsessed with cultivation and was a true cultivation maniac, he was too careless to ignore such a situation.

Niu Ao, who had suffered a setback, did not dare to have any complaints. He could only hurriedly say, "Senior Brother Long, please don't blame me. I was rude. I'll leave now."

In the next moment, the surging sword intent in the air disappeared without a trace.

Niu Ao, who had regained his ability to move, hurriedly bowed and left.

He did not want to stay in this damned place for a moment longer.

"Wait."

Just as Niu Ao was about to leave, Long Tianxiang suddenly called out.

Niu Ao turned around stiffly. "Senior Brother, do you have any other orders?"

Buzz!

A sonorous sword hum sounded from Long Tianxiang's body.

A golden sword intent burst forth from Long Tianxiang's palm.

That golden sword intent carried an extremely terrifying pressure and landed in Niu Ao's hand.

Niu Ao almost fainted from fright. But after sensing that this sword intent was not a threat to him, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Rumor had it that Long Tianxiang had already cultivated his sword intent to the realm of freely withdrawing and releasing it. To think that it was true!

His mind stirred. "Senior Apprentice Brother Long's meaning is?"

Long Tianxiang said indifferently, "There will always be some ants who don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Just eliminate them for me."

Finished speaking, Long Tianxiang's figure turned into a sword light and escaped into the depths of the Nine Dragon Sword Tomb to continue cultivating in seclusion.

Niu Ao carefully kept that golden sword intent into his sleeve, swallowed his saliva, bowed, and left.

The Path to Heaven.

After entering here, Zhao Mu and Lu Qi were separated.

Lu Qi was on the third level.

And it was Zhao Mu's first time entering the Path to Heaven. He was at the starting point of the first level.

Zhao Mu looked around and discovered that there was a vast expanse of white fog on three sides. Only the front was clearly visible.

He passed through the fog and walked forward. Before long, he walked onto a floating platform.

On the platform, there were three demonic beasts that were sleeping soundly.

There was a large rooster with a blob of flesh on its head.

There was a hedgehog with spikes all over its body that could expand to the size of a bear.

There was also a five-foot-tall green-skinned toad.

The auras of the three demonic beasts were all at the initial-stage Foundation Establishment.

He did not expect that the first level of the Path to Heaven would have Foundation Establishment demonic beasts. Furthermore, they looked extremely ferocious.

Outer sect disciples who had just entered the sect did not dare to come here to challenge at all.

The moment Zhao Mu stepped onto the platform, the surrounding fog surged. A formation halo descended from the sky, enveloping Zhao Mu and the demonic beasts.

In an instant, the three demonic beasts in front of Zhao Mu woke up at the same time.

The demonic beasts split into three groups and attacked Zhao Mu at the same time.

What fast speed!

Zhao Mu's expression turned stern, and he immediately retreated several steps, pulling away from the demonic beasts.

Otherwise, it would be easy to be attacked from three sides, and that would be a very dangerous situation.

This was especially true for the hedgehog. While it was still in the air, it shook its body crazily and threw out a large number of spikes. If one was hit by these spikes, the barbs on them would be embedded in the skin and flesh, making it difficult to pull them out.

Fortunately, Zhao Mu dodged in time and was not hit by the first wave of attacks.

"It's my turn to fight back!"

The Crimson Sun Energy in Zhao Mu's body surged and gathered on his fists. His fists became as red and hot as soldering iron. With a punch, a dazzling light burst out, shocking the three Monster Beasts so much that they couldn't open their eyes.

Zhao Mu found an opportunity to throw a flurry of punches and kicks, blasting the three demonic beasts out of the arena.

It was an easy win.

However, in actual combat, Zhao Mu also realized a very serious flaw.

His fighting skills and strength did not match at all.

The Sacred Body of the Crimson Sun contained infinite power, but he didn't have many means to unleash this power. It was really a pity.

It would be great if there was a close-combat type cultivation method for him to learn.

At this moment, the fog in front of him dispersed, and a flight of stairs leading to the second level slowly appeared.

At the same time, a pill, a flying sword, and an ancient book landed in front of Zhao Mu at the same time.

"After passing the first level, you can choose any one of the three rewards."

Zhao Mu was slightly stunned. So there were rewards for challenging the Path to Heaven. It seemed that he had made the right choice this time.

He immediately looked at the ancient book.

"Burning Flame Palm"

A high-grade Yellow Level cultivation method!

Zhao Mu was instantly overjoyed. Wasn't this like someone giving him a pillow when he was dozing off? Whatever he wanted had come to him.

Without saying a word, Zhao Mu directly took the ancient book and began to read and cultivate on the spot.
